I think the issue here is that there shouldn't be an extremist on either side of the debate in control.. IE a creationist that pulls all science out of the class room, or a evolutionist that refuses to allow creationism to be taught in schools. Case in point in HS i had a biology teacher that was an anthetist and every semester he hasked the same question on a test, "true or false Mankind evolved from primates?" If you answered false he marked it wrong, and every semester the people that refused to accept his beliefs went to the school board and got his question thrown out. That type of question doesn't need to be on a test at all. As either answer is forcing your personnel beliefs on someone else.
There is room for both so teach both & let individuals decide on what they believe. As for a leader that prays, again it is a personnel choice. If that's the single deciding factor on who you vote for then so be it, it's not what determines my vote thats for sure.
What a steaming turd of a post that was.
First of all creationism doesn't deserve to be taught in science classes because it's
not science. And second of all, it's not "extremist" to want
actual science to be taught in high school science classes. Creationism is
not science. I wouldn't want them teaching auto repair in science class either, so nothing against your personal beliefs, but its irrelevant to the topic at hand.
Is it really so much to ask that you limit your bible stories to church?
